We want to ensure that we all acknowledge the ongoing COVID-19 global crisis and accept our obligations to comply with any official guidance from governments or local authorities, both in the UK and whilst on Retreat. Guidance on refunds for lockdown, FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) advice, entry restrictions and quarantine Whether or not refunds are due from travel companies depends on a number of factors. If the FCDO is advising against travel at the time of departure, customers who have booked on the retreat are entitled to a full refund. If the above do not apply, but you personally are subject to lockdown rules or guidance meaning that you can’t leave your area and travel, even though we can continue with the retreat, then you would be subject to our normal terms and conditions for cancellation charges. Please check your own travel insurance policy to ensure cover is provided Quarantine in the UK Please note – should you be asked to stay at home for a period of time after returning from the retreat this does not affect the holiday itself, which can go ahead as planned. Therefore, no right to a refund arises. If you decide not to travel, cancellation charges will apply, and you should speak to your own travel insurer to see if any claim can be made. There are a number of travel insurance companies who are including Covid 19 cover. These include Saga, The Post Office Travel Insurance, American Express (do check their policy as different cards have different policies) as well as many others.

If this happens within 14 days of your departure date, you must contact us as you may no longer be able to travel. We will offer you the following option where possible and subject to availability: - Cancelling your holiday, in which case we will impose our standard cancellation charges as of the date of cancellation by you. You may be able to claim these costs back from your travel insurance.
